First cfl grow, pics included, please advise.

Just wanted to post some pic's.... There are 8 in total 3 ICE and 5 WHITE WIDOW.


Let me know what you think.


3 x 42watt 6500K CFL (150 watts incandescent equivalent x3 total 450 watts )

Also 2 x 13watt 2700k CFL

3 Light reflector sheilds.

20/20/20 every 4th watering.

Plain and simple. 18/6 lights

About 2.5 Weeks possible longer, havent kept track.

Any advice would be great.

Not looking to make a profit... strickly personal. Striaght and Simple.

Seems like a whole lot of plants for 3 lights. I have 800 watt equivalent and only two plants. Other than that it looks good!

yeah looks really good man but the more lights the better!! i just took the reflector off of my light fixture and bought a few y splitters so one fixture can hold 4 bulbs.. need to add another 4 soon. check out my sig when you got a minute. keep it up bro

nice setup, everything looks good. i would say though, if height space is an issue you should definitely tie them down, lst, maybe top, and start the flowering cycle soon. they are going to get much bigger. start a journal

Not sure height is an issue right now there in 5.5 foot cabinet and not even from base of pot to top of plant 1 foot yet. But thank you for the advice...

ITS 150watts per bulb.. equal to 450watts total light.... still no 800 watts.. MORE LIGHT BETTER... LESS LIGHT BAD GOT IT..lol

you have the space, if you can wait, look up some scrog grows or other lst threads and try your hand at it. it's not too hard and you can do it just a little, you'll maximize your space with more bud sites so it could be worth it. like others said, more lights- cfls, maybe try getting a 200w hps or maybe even 150w in addition to. wouldn't be too hot or expensive and would really^^^ be a good investment for the end product.

you could end up with a good amount of bud, what your not smoking you can continue curing, so it's a win-win.

Just a little update!!!!! Almost harvesting time... Any Suggestions would be great.! BTW only 3 of the above pics tuned out to be females....GAY.....
